penny in your hand
copper over both your eyes
Charon, keep the change
Charon, keep the change.
Glimmers in the children's eye.
Sparkling of hope.
sparkling of hope
in a string of Christmas lights
one burns out — all will
One burns out - all will.
Faster to the finish line.
Stumble to glory.
Stumble to glory
cardboard wings melting in rain
future trickles down
future trickles down
cheek..shoulder...midriff...leg...sole
'til it's in the drain
'til it's in the drain
pieces of yesterday's child
shattered consciousness
Shattered consciousness,
Colours drip out of their hands.
A cherry on top.
A cherry on top
Completes a piece of beauty
Which sates my hunger.
Which states my hunger,
empty plate, dinner table-
a whirlwind of sorts
a whirlwind of sorts
winter storm-a snow globe of
insatiable grace
Instatiable grace,
Unfathomable fate comes.
A heartbeat away.
a heartbeat away
from flatlining, there is you,
waiting in the wings...
Waiting in the wings...
for the final curtain call
of Death's masquerade
of Death's masquerade,
dagger gleaming in the hall,
in 2 minutes - death.
